I'm not sure what relevance Tests will have in the future."—A current senior Indian player who's a Test cricket loyalist.<BR><BR></STRONG>Sport like any other medium has to keep reinventing itself once in a while. The lure of money is irresistible.<BR>What are the immediate repercussions now that we have seen a few matches:<BR>1) We have points for upholding the spirit of the game; not the "Royal Challenge Spirit" that Mallya was upholding during the inaugural game. <BR>2) Please understand that the Bangalore team's name, whose owner is selling spirits , does not amount to surrogate advertisement for alcohol. You cannot ask Anbumani Ramdass for his views on this.<BR>3) The said spirit will be upheld (Held Hostage?) by men like Ponting, Symonds, Harbhajan, Ganguly, Warne and they will be awarded for doing so!<BR>4) Every event like a boundary, sixer, wicket fall will have scantily clad girls cheering with some gusto. We will find it impossible to fathom if the spectator is cheering the cricket event or the cheering girls or both. <BR>5) Australian players, who used to complain plaintively against excessive cricket, are fighting their own board to play in the IPL. A survey by the Australian Cricketers' Association showed that almost half the players contracted with Cricket Australia and the six states would consider early retirement to play T20 cricket in India.<BR>6) The Englishmen too are clamouring for the rupee.<BR>7) In New Zealand, where cricket doesn't pay much, it's as if some famished tramps had walked into a feast of kings. Ex-Kiwi captain Stephen Fleming said, "I saw the amounts of money being thrown around and I thought: wow, I hope they keep trading! It was incredible to be involved in it."<BR>8) A year before the Mumbai auction, BCCI president Sharad Pawar had said: "India does not support a T20 world tournament. We feel it dilutes the importance of international cricket." Viola IPL was born. <BR>9) If you are confused if you should applaud Murali if he takes Tendulkar's wicket the fault is entirely with you for your inability to appreciate good cricket.<BR>10) Is it still a mystery to you why T20 is still played with Cricket bats and balls and such paraphernalia normally attached to the game? Please innovate and send it to BCCI. Please do not forget to patent it though!</FONT></P>]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:45:56 +0530</pubDate><link>http://spicensweet.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/04/25/IPL-What-it-has-done-to-Cricket.html</link></item><item><title>DO YOU GET HURT BY WORDS</title><description><![CDATA[<H3 class=post-title><A href="http://tamilspicensweet.blogspot.com/2008/03/do-you-get-hurt-by-words-it-is.html"> It is important to develope tolerance to be a better human being.</A> </H3><BR><DIV class=post-header-line-1></DIV><BR><DIV class=post-body><BR><DIV style="MARGIN-TOP: 4px; FLOAT: right"><BR><SCRIPT type=text/javascript><BR>digg_url = "http://tamilspicensweet.blogspot.com/2008/03/do-you-get-hurt-by-words-it-is.html";<BR>digg_skin = "compact";<BR>digg_window = "new";<BR></SCRIPT><BR><BR><SCRIPT src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT><BR></DIV><BR><P><A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_OTWjTLdnkPI/R-excsGOl2I/AAAAAAAAAoY/Wglrw6Cj9mQ/s1600-h/PQEIHCAXUTYEGCAR38SIZCAN7Y2A7CAQJBOL5CA2VBSM7CA7H9GR4CAJ37FKPCAAGBLFRCA6VVMM8CA73XLWMCAR30NXGCANWP0MWCAUPZ3DWCAGRHYMKCANG92OPCAO8IC19CAAZPWP0CAL6QS60CAHOX71P.jpg"></A> I would like to write this article for the kids because it is important for them to develope tolerance to be a better human being.It is important <STRONG>not to hurt</STRONG> anyone.

Always before hurting anyone analyze your action and words. Try to think about how it may affect others. All of us are not same.We must understand that each one of us is different from the others. You may want to be like someone else. But don't feel bad about being different. You are special in your own way. It is important not to feel bad when we are not like somebody else. And we should not laugh at others for being different from us. But realize other person can do the same. We should try to take care of the problem peacefully. When you hear an impolite, negative words or attitude forced towards you simply ignore it.Try to get it under your skin and do not let others know that you are hurt.You should develope a short term memory when somebody hurts you. So that you will forgive them easily which definetly surprises them when they bring it up later and don't even recall them if you feel it is insulting you. If you do so it will lower your self esteem and sometimes even make you a little self conscious and feel anger towards the person who hurt you.Some people are so sure of themself that they don't get their feelings hurt. They spring in to action and they are empowered by people who hurt them. Don't assume that you know how others feel. Life is too short for drama. It is better to enjoy the drama and like to be a part of it, and you will realize that the sufferings stop. </SPAN>Click here too <A href="http://tamilspicensweet.blogspot.com/search/label/For%20the%20Kids/"><FONT color=#776644>&gt;&gt;&gt;...</FONT></A> </P></DIV><IFRAME src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.php?u=http%3A//tamilspicensweet.blogspot.com/2008/03/do-you-get-hurt-by-words-it-is.html&amp;w=new&amp;s=compact" frameBorder=0 width=120 scrolling=no height=18></IFRAME>]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:42:13 +0530</pubDate><link>http://spicensweet.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/04/25/DO-YOU-GET-HURT-BY-WORDS.html</link></item><item><title>Money making- A powerful tool</title><description><![CDATA[<P><FONT color=#330000><SPAN style="COLOR: #33cc00; FONT-FAMILY: arial">Give a thought</SPAN></FONT></P><P><FONT color=#330000><SPAN style="COLOR: #33cc00; FONT-FAMILY: arial">It's a harsh truth that we need money to survive even if we dont want it.
